Can i open a new aws account after closing it
Yes, you can open a new AWS account even after closing an existing one. Here's what you need to know:
Closing an AWS account:
When you close an AWS account, you're essentially deleting the account and all its associated resources, including:
- AWS resources (e.g., EC2 instances, S3 buckets, RDS databases)
- AWS services (e.g., IAM users, roles, and groups)
- Billing information
- Account settings
Creating a new AWS account:
To create a new AWS account, follow these steps:
- Go to the AWS website and click on "Create an AWS account" at the top right corner.
- Fill out the registration form with your personal and business information.
- Choose a unique email address and password for your new account.
- Verify your email address by clicking on the verification link sent to you by AWS.
- Set up your account by providing additional information, such as your name, address, and phone number.
Important notes:
- You cannot reuse an existing AWS account ID: When you close an AWS account, the account ID is deleted, and you cannot reuse it to create a new account.
- You may need to provide additional information: Depending on your use case, you may need to provide additional information, such as business registration documents or tax identification numbers, to comply with AWS's terms of service.
- Your new account will have a different AWS account ID: Your new account will have a unique AWS account ID, which is different from your previous account ID.
- You may need to reconfigure your AWS services: If you had set up AWS services, such as IAM users or roles, in your previous account, you'll need to reconfigure them in your new account.
In summary, you can open a new AWS account even after closing an existing one, but you'll need to provide additional information and set up your new account from scratch.
